To ask Her Majesty’s Government what are the respective responsibilities of the home
nations' tourism organisations following restructuring of VisitBritain, in particular
regarding the attraction of overseas visitors to each of the four nations.

Tourism is a devolved matter, so it is for each of the home nations to decide on the
structure and activities of their national tourist boards. <p /><p />The Government
has decided that the British Tourist Authority should continue to trade as VisitBritain
and VisitEngland - with VisitBritain focussed on the promotion of Britain overseas,
and VisitEngland focussed on the development of English tourism product. VisitEngland
will do this through a new £40m Discover England fund. <p /><p />Funding for British
tourism will now be ring-fenced and the Government is committed to setting challenging
targets for VisitBritain to encourage more visitors to explore beyond London. We are
actively engaging with the Scottish and Welsh Governments on these targets and operating
principles.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the current level of direct funding of S4C
by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport will be retained in the new licence
period irrespective of the outcome of discussions concerning the renewal of the BBC's
Charter.

<p>The Government are committed to Welsh language programming and to the future of
S4C.</p><p> </p><p>The level of all exchequer funding for public bodies will be a
matter for the Spending Review, which has yet to begin.</p>

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many new inward investment projects were secured
for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland respectively in the last year for
which figures are available; and what is their estimate of the number of new jobs
associated with these projects in each of the four nations respectively.

<p>During 2014/15 UKTI recorded a total of 1,988 successful foreign direct investment
projects successfully landing in the UK. The table shows the regional distribution
of these projects, and the estimated number of new jobs created.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Nation</p></td><td><p>Inward

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions have taken place between ministers
or officials of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and officials of the English
Football Association regarding the continued full recognition of the Welsh, Scottish
and Northern Ireland Football Associations within FIFA.

<blockquote><p>The Department has not engaged in any discussions with the English
Football Association on this subject. Sport is not only a devolved matter, but it
is also for the football associations in each of the home nations to maintain their
own relationships with FIFA, and in particular with regard to their independent status
in world football.</p></blockquote>
